Gavoreka Isles

I expected a somewhat nice view with some shining lights. But I was never perpared for the magical atmosphere I saw in those caves.

— Visitor of the Crystal Caves

The Gavoreka Isles are located in the most western part of the Elervir Isles and are the first group off islands encountered when travelling from Farlis. Despite this they never really gained a position of power due to their rather limited population. Eventually they were taken over by the nearby Anderia Island.
Later in their history they became more important when a large amount of Sea Falls was found there.

Geography

The various islands of the Gavoreka group are rather similar but some are more forested than others. The largest of the island group is the location of its largest city Gavoreka after which the islands are named. In general the ground of the islands is not very fertile which makes agriculture on these islands rather limited.

Landmarks

Crystal Caves

What the islands are most famous for today are the Crystal Caves. Somewhere during the Middle Era these were discovered on the largest island of the group. The most important part of this discovery was that the caves were filled with various crystals and among them a large amount of Sea Falls was found.
This did not only make the caves an impressive vista but also added great economical value to the islands. Eventually these Sea Falls were also discovered on other smaller islands of the group. Currently the Falls that are mined and sold here are the main source to get them for many Human countries in Farlis and Pavanor. The abundance of these Sea Falls has also given rise to a thriving community of Water Magic casters.

Resources and economy

Agriculture

Since the soil on the islands is not very fertile the inhabitants don't have a large crop output. Many areas of the islands are therefore used for livestock. Among them sheep are the most common and they are used for both meat and wool.

Mining

The Crystal Caves themselves are currently heavily mined to meet the demand for the Sea Falls. This is used to be quite dangerous but luckily the methods and tools for it have improved over the years.
